Located on a high plain 50 metres above Benidorm’s coastline lies an exclusive residential complex. La Ermita del Mediterráneo boasts 2 and 3 bedroom homes with breathtaking sea views. Certainly the place to live for a heightened lifestyle.
Imagine a home with vast outdoor spaces in which to chill out, have breakfast or entertain guests. Have the freedom to position your outdoor furniture creating the ideal space for sunbathing with panoramic sea views. Homes on the ground floor boast a sheltered porch and front garden while those on the first floor include a spacious sheltered terrace. If you’re living on the top floor, in addition to a large terrace you will also have a solarium with space for an outdoor lounge that complements the jacuzzi and sun deck, as well as a dining area with barbecue and pergola.
The sloping design of the building’s structure not only complements the inclined stone walls to create a natural aesthetic. It was purposely designed this way to afford maximum personal privacy for each homeowner, outside the line of vision of other neighbours. Given the alternating floor levels and large distances separating the outdoor spaces between properties, feel free to be as you are in the comfort of your home, either indoors or outdoors.
Forget the communal-style living typically found in Benidorm’s large apartment blocks. Instead, imagine your home surrounded by natural beauty with very few neighbours; a total 10 homeowners to be exact. Don’t be surprised to find yourself enjoying the communal facilities with no one else in sight!
A 60 metre Infinity Pool with a glass frontage offers you plenty of space to unwind while overlooking the blue seas, or swim laps to get in shape. A large heated Whirlpool with capacity for 5-6 people incorporates ergonomic seats and pressurised water jets. Probably the most spacious hot tub you’ve experienced that also gives you a gentle back massage to ease away stiff joints or aching muscles. The internal lights fitted within the Whirlpool and Infinity Pool change colour, adding to the magical escapism as night falls with the stars gleaming from above.
Take a siesta on one of the sun loungers with parasols on the poolside terrace. With a shower and WC in close proximity, take your time to stay in the blissful outdoors for as long as you like.
A short stroll away from your doorstep lies Poniente Beach on one side, with Cala Finestrat Cove on the other. Each features fine white sands bathed in blue seas, perfect to get your golden tan. Given the array of tapas and beach bars, you will never be far from a cold drink and delicious Mediterranean food.
The complex includes a secluded pine forest reserved just for residents, with pine trees interspersed with colourful landscaped gardens and benches. A tranquil location to breathe easy and mellow out in the heart of nature.
To experience the thrill of water sports, Benidorm’s beaches offers parapenting, kite surfing, cable skiing and much more to get your pulse racing. Sailing fans can start their route from a number of marinas that head towards Campomanes, crossing through the Sierra Helada Nature Reserve. As the sun sets, take a stroll down the seafront promenade to watch the horizon in all its glory.
Food lovers will be spoilt for choice among the array of restaurants serving some of the best Mediterranean cuisine along Costa Blanca. Why not continue the fun at the many lounge bars and clubs for which Benidorm has gained its international fame. At La Ermita del Mediterráneo you get the best of both worlds: access to all the leisure facilities, superb eateries and a vibrant nightlife, with the freedom to retreat back to your very own slice of paradise.
Your lounge and master bedroom face floor-to-ceiling windows for an uninterrupted connection between panoramas of Mediterranean sea views and Benidorm’s skyline in the distance. Jumping out of bed in the morning will be a serene experience as you find yourself immersed in the colourful nature that lies just behind the glass wall.
Cross ventilation is maximised due to the horizontal distribution of the rooms, allowing air to flow directly from the large windows through to those at the other end. The northeastern orientation of the complex and its height of 50 metres above sea level both favour the movement of the sea breeze throughout your living spaces, keeping you refreshed even on hot summer days. It also maximises efficiency of the aerothermal air conditioning system that keeps your home cooler for longer. As you won’t need to have it on all day, you can save money on your energy bills and instead spend it on a nice treat for yourself.
